  FEATURES

  You’re Not Taking Him
  by Gary Oberbillig

  When federal government officials arrived in Fairfield during World War II, intent on interning people of Japanese descent, the town stood up and refused to surrender their longtime neighbor, Jimmy Yamamoto.

  Genesee – Spotlight City 
  by David Wahl

  Storytelling has always been central in the life of the author, who grew up hearing tales tall and true about the past and present of Genesee, where he now passes on the lore to his offspring.

  Circling Back Around
  by Amy Larson

  The author’s wariness toward airplanes changes after a friendship with a World War II ace and a visit to Nampa’s Warhawk Air Museum lead to a meeting with the pilot of a plane she had seen aloft long ago.
